Come on in 2002 nobody had a clue about 12/21/2012, or very few of us.

No it's mainstream in a huge way, so how does a show in 2002 predict something to happen on Dec 22 2012?

A show about aliens............

Nah, the date was totally out there back then. I knew about it, and I'm no more than a casual conspiracy junky. The writers of a show with a basic premise of conspiracy and paranormal are going to be aware of the theories that are out there. It's safe to assume the writers were aware of the whole Mayan prophecy theory and chose the date specifically.

if the date was 'totally out there back then' why didn't they use the correct date instead of the 22nd?

This episode even talks about US humans coming from a metor crashing from MARS.

WTF>>>>>>>>

Mars is in the news in a big way plus the Dec22 2012 in the show.

Wake up people

Wake Up!

Ignore the douche... you're right,

I don't know how that helps the 60% + on this site that are already awake and knew this. I may not have realized that it was leaked in this show, but I am aware that Hollywood has been screaming this in subtle ways for decades.

FYI, the whole mayan calendar theory has been around since at least the '70s, I used to watch the T.V. show "In Search Of" with Leonard Nimoy, it was about doomsday theories, it ran about '77 or '78 I think, I'm sure you can find it in someones archives, it did have the date 21/DEC/12.

If you are familiar with the show and I'm judging from the posts here that many of you are not, you would know that the writers do a lot of research whether it be fringe science, the paranormal, cryptids, etc. Books and a few TV shows about the Mayan "end date" have been around since the late 70's. Legitimate reports, personal accounts, and even fairy tales were a few of the many sources that the writers called upon and anything 2012 related was probably used.
